TA Roles - for Instructors

There are three roles to choose from for a TA in an e-Learning course.

• TA – has the same permissions as the instructor with the exception of managing outcomes.
• TA Grading Only – can access the gradebook (and SpeedGrader) and enter grades; however, they cannot do things like post announcements, edit assignments or quizzes, edit wiki pages, or upload materials to Files.
• Non-Grading Assistant – Identical to TA with the exception that they do not have access to Grades, Outcomes, Managing Assignments/Quizzes, or Publishing the course. They will also NOT appear in the inbox under TAs. 

These classifications came about because some instructors did not want TAs to grade course work or because they had undergraduate TAs that are not allowed to see their fellow undergraduate’s’ grades (Non-Grading Assistant).  Other instructors did not want TAs to be able to edit assignments or quizzes or pages within their course, only grade the assignments (TA Grading Only).

If you have any questions about which role your TA should have, please call e-Learning support at 352-392-4357 or learning-support@ufl.edu.
